| | James Brown (musician) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Brown followed this success with a string of singles that, along with the work of Allen Toussaint in New Orleans, essentially defined funk music. | | | Brown's vocals, not quite sung but not quite spoken, would be a major influence on the technique of rapping, which would come to maturity along with hip hop culture and hip hop music during the following decade. | | | Those same tracks would later be resurrected by countless hip-hop musicians from the 1970s on; in fact, James Brown remains the world's most sampled recording artist, and "Funky Drummer" is itself the most sampled individual piece of music. |

| | Funk/Soul -- James Brown |
| | Brown continued to rack up hit singles through the early 1960's but began to wonder what would happen if he could capture his energy and excitement on an album. | | | Brown trained his musicians to accent every scream, split, shake and shimmy he maneuvered during his concerts, which had become the visual trademark of the group's stage act. | | | Today Brown has gained a new generation of fans who sample his voice and rhythms on rap and hip-hop recordings. |

| | "Pee Wee" Ellis, his saxophonist, once commented: "When you heard James Brown was coming to town, you stopped what you were doing and started saving your money." Recorded in 1962, the album LIVE AT THE APOLLO is an awesome document of Brown's dramatic shows and the raw, emotive power of his voice. | | | Upon his release three years later, he was aided by the Byrd family and became part of Bobby's vocal group. | | | While incarcerated, he led a gospel choir, demonstrating his organizational prowess at an early age, and was befriended by a local musician, Bobby Byrd. |

| | PopMatters Music Feature Hard Hitting Blues: The Last Man Standing: James Brown |
| | He was an prominent figure in two Black music revolutions, introducing funk elements into soul music in the late '60s and early '70s and later, becoming heavily sampled in the rap era by the likes of hip-hop pioneers like Afrika Bambattaa. | | | Though he would go on to become a central figure in rock and soul, James Brown didn't necessarily become an icon because of his sheer talent -- more of it came from his otherworldly determination to watch the trends and working hard to tune his musical legacy over decades. | | | Brown might not have had the same appeal or boxing talent as Beau, but he was still inspired by his predecessor's stamina. |
